by her beloved husband of 65 years, Peter, and previously by
her twin brother Richard
BEATTY, her sisters Ottilie
BEATTY and
Graeme RENGERS, and her lifelong Friends Marcia
WOOD and Joy

O'BRIAN
(Carolyn BENNETT,) her grandchildren Melanie, Amy, Meghan, Jack
and Ben (all
O'BRIAN) who knew and loved her as 'Dede', her nephew

BuffyASH
(Bill,) and Kit
RENGERS. She is also remembered with love
by her brothers-in-law, James

Hatfield Hall and spent summers at Nares Inlet, Georgian Bay,
where she first met Peter in 1936. During World War 2, she sailed
to England to join 'Pete', who was serving overseas in the Royal
Air Force, and they were married in London at Saint Martin-in-the-Fields
in December, 1941, returning to Toronto in 1959. During the War
she served with the Red Cross. She later volunteered for many
years with the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire
at Dixon Hall in Toronto. She delighted in her family life, her
dogs, Chelsea, Hollywood and Marley, long country walks and blueberry
picking by canoe in the Georgian Bay. She was fiercely loyal
and supportive to those she loved, and always sided with the
'underdog'. Edie's family is deeply grateful to the Meighen Manor
for the loving care provided by its dedicated staff. She is sadly
missed by her devoted care-giver, friend and daily companion,
Merlidita DE

KUTSCHENREITER,
Karl▼Jr.▼
Karl KUTSCHENREITER,
Jr.▼ was born on January 9, 1950 in Pichling,
Austria. He was the first-born child of Juliana
(AMENT) and Karl
KUTSCHENREITER. A couple of years later the family grew with
the addition of his little sister Wilma. He lived in Austria
until May 25, 1955 when Julie, Karl Jr. and Wilma travelled to
Canada by boat to Montreal and then by train to Toronto where
they joined Karl Sr. who had been in Toronto making it possible
for the rest of the family to join him.
The KUTSCHENREITERs lived in Toronto from 1955-1959 at which
time they moved to Shrigley; by December of 1959 they moved to
the family farm on Highway 10.
Karl attended public school at S.S.#4 at Victoria Corners. He
attended the Dundalk High School and Grey Highlands Secondary
School. Karl attended Humber College and studied as a heavy equipment
diesel mechanic - an education that he used for the rest of his
working years.
He had three children: Kyle, Shannon and Tanya.
Karl settled on his property at R.R.#3 Flesherton around 1989,
where he lived until his death.
Karl held various jobs, which included: heavy equipment operator,
equipment repair, mechanic, welder, pond builder and truck driver.
Karl was a man that could operate anything with a diesel engine.
He was a kid that never grew up - always playing with his toys
in the dirt.
He will be remembered by others for his young "Elvis" hair, his
motorcycle days and his willingness to help a friend out no matter
what. Karl enjoyed being with Friends in the outdoors, both hunting
and fishing.

It is with deep sorrow and heartache that we announce the death
of Joyce Morden

battle with cancer. Joyce will be missed by her son Clay, daughters

STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, step-granddaughter Jennifer
VERGOS,
nephews and nieces, and a myriad of Friends ranging in age from
6 to 96. Born on May 10, 1928 in Niagara Falls, Joyce grew up
in St. Lambert, Quebec, and attended McGill University. head
librarian at Malton District Library from 1967 until her retirement
in 1992, Joyce delighted in sharing her love to read with others.
In her retirement, she remained active championing various causes
and advocating for social justice through the political system.
She did volunteer work at Aloma Public School and faithfully
attended the Toronto International Film Festival. Her passion
for social issues led her to deep and rewarding involvement with
the Academy for Life Long Learning. Special thanks to Doctor Ralph
GILBERT of the University Health Network for his skill, candour
and compassion throughout Joyce's illness. No flowers please,
however if you'd care to make a donation in Joyce's name, her
favourite charities were the Council of Canadians (www.canadians.org)
and the David Suzuki Foundation (www.davidsuzuki.org). Donations
to Bethell House (www.hospicecaledon.ca), a residential hospice
being constructed by Hospice Caledon that would have made Joyce's
final days more comfortable, would also be appreciated. Or, as
Joyce so often did, take a stand when you perceive an injustice
make your voice heard. A celebration of Joyce's life will be
held on Saturday, March 15 at 1: 00 p.m. at the Port Credit Library,
